Title:
  can't report a bug on a non-running ubuntu kernel if you're using a
  non-ubuntu kernel

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1) Install non-ubuntu Linux kernel, (say, via making your own .deb
  from scratch)

  2) ubuntu-bug (kernel that *is* a ubuntu kernel, such as  linux-
  image-4.2.0-11-generic )

  3) ubuntu-bug refuses, citing

  "It appears you are currently running a mainline kernel.  It would be
  better to report this bug upstream at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/ so
  that the upstream kernel developers are aware of the issue.  If you'd
  still like to file a bug against the Ubuntu kernel, please boot with
  an official Ubuntu kernel and re-file."

  Well yeah I'm running a backup kernel because the ubuntu one is broken
  for me.  I can't boot the other one successfully, that's why I'm
  trying to report a bug on it.
